Description
The Statue of Janus, located 400 meters southeast of Newton Ferrers House, is a medieval carved stone figure featuring two faces, symbolizing the old and new year. It is raised on a stone base. The statue was discovered three feet beneath the floor of the servants' hall during the restoration of Newton Ferrers House for Sir Digby Collins in the 1880s. It was later moved to its current position at the top of a hill, overlooking Newton Ferrers House.
